The appointment coincides with the retirement of longstanding representative Bob McClung of R.M. McClung Sales, the release stated.

"Bob has been working with Lambskin Specialties since 1989, and has built the territory from the ground up; we are fortunate to have had him on our side," said Myron Schultz, director of sales and marketing.

"We are confident that Mark Presho, Jeff Stone and their associates at Access Partners will build on the tradition of caring, honesty and excellence that Bob McClung has brought to the territory. This organization has an outstanding reputation for working with their distributors and factories to generate growth. As one of the leading representative organizations in the industry, we feel privileged to welcome Access Partners to our family," Schultz added.
